Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Legacy, Vol. 2 of 2: Being the Life and Remains of John Martin, Schoolmaster and Poet
It behoves us, then, as we are making history and biography every hour for those who live after us to read and profit by, to fill up this period with as useful, if not noble, acts as we can. To blot out bad old laws, to introduce good ones, to place on higher platforms those classes that we call lower, so making our grandchildren to revere the nineteenth century, solely because we lived and suffered and died in it.
